The Royal Government of Cambodia will build 3 more bridges
Belgium: Samdech Techo Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, stated that in the future, the Royal Government of Cambodia must build three more bridges to accelerate the construction of infrastructure to promote national economic development.
Samdech Techo’s speech was made on the occasion of meeting with more than 2,000 Cambodians in Europe on the night of December 12, 2022.
Samdech Techo highlighted that the three bridges to be built include:
1 / The first bridge. The site will open in early January 2023, crossing the Mekong River in Kratie province. This bridge is necessary to connect Kratie to Kampong Thom, reducing the travel of people who used to travel to Kampong Thom to cross into Tbong Khmum and Kampong Cham, but when the new bridge is completed. Travel from Kratie to Kampong Thom once.
2 / The second bridge. In Phnom Penh, it is the Cambodia-Republic of Korea Friendship Bridge that connects the night market, Chroy Changvar and Chroy Changvar. The Noble King signed a loan from Korea worth nearly $ 250 million. The bridge is made up of two bridges, the first crossing the Tonle Sap River, starting from the area around the night market {Old Market} crossing to the other side of Chroy Changvar and the second crossing the Mekong River starting from the other side of Chroy Changvar [near Sokha Hotel] towards Arey Ksat Commune [Lvea Em District, Kandal Province].
3 / The third bridge. In Phnom Penh, it is connected from National Road No. 1 to Lvea Em district, Kandal province, at a cost of about $ 200 million. This bridge plays an important role in connecting with the expressway from Phnom Penh to Bavet City, Svay Rieng Province. There is no charge to cross the bridge, except to cross the expressway.
